.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. | will give a
real vertical bar. \*(C+ will give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used
to do unbreakable dashes and therefore won't be available. \*(C` and
\*(C' expand to `' in nroff, nothing in troff, for use with C<>

If the F register is turned on, we'll generate index entries on stderr
for titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.Sh), items (.Ip), and
index entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process
the output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it
makes way too many mistakes in technical documents.

Accent mark definitions (@(#)ms.acc 1.5 88/02/08 SMI; from UCB 4.2).

"NAME"
ERR_get_error, ERR_peek_error, ERR_get_error_line, ERR_peek_error_line, ERR_get_error_line_data, ERR_peek_error_line_data - obtain error code and data
"SYNOPSIS"
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/err.h> .Ve .Vb 2 unsigned long ERR_get_error(void); unsigned long ERR_peek_error(void); .Ve .Vb 2 unsigned long ERR_get_error_line(const char **file, int *line); unsigned long ERR_peek_error_line(const char **file, int *line); .Ve .Vb 4 unsigned long ERR_get_error_line_data(const char **file, int *line, const char **data, int *flags); unsigned long ERR_peek_error_line_data(const char **file, int *line, const char **data, int *flags); .Ve
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" \fIERR_get_error() returns the last error code from the thread's error queue and removes the entry. This function can be called repeatedly until there are no more error codes to return.

\fIERR_peek_error() returns the last error code from the thread's error queue without modifying it.

See ERR_GET_LIB(3) for obtaining information about location and reason of the error, and ERR_error_string(3) for human-readable error messages.

\fIERR_get_error_line() and ERR_peek_error_line() are the same as the above, but they additionally store the file name and line number where the error occurred in *file and *line, unless these are \s-1NULL\s0.

\fIERR_get_error_line_data() and ERR_peek_error_line_data() store additional data and flags associated with the error code in *data and *flags, unless these are \s-1NULL\s0. *data contains a string if *flags&\s-1ERR_TXT_STRING\s0. If it has been allocated by OPENSSL_malloc(), *flags&\s-1ERR_TXT_MALLOCED\s0 is true.

"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" The error code, or 0 if there is no error in the queue.
"SEE ALSO"
Header "SEE ALSO" err(3), ERR_error_string(3), ERR_GET_LIB(3)
"HISTORY"
Header "HISTORY" \fIERR_get_error(), ERR_peek_error(), ERR_get_error_line() and \fIERR_peek_error_line() are available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL. ERR_get_error_line_data() and ERR_peek_error_line_data() were added in SSLeay 0.9.0.
